A "snow storm" of material in the shallow waters (80 m) off of Newport, Oregon prevented the ROV Jason from recovering and redeploying the Bethic Experiment Platform during the first two dives of the VISIONS'17 program. These waters are some of the most biologically productive in the worlkds' oceans. Credit: UW/OOI-NSF/WHOI; V17.

Undergraduate students from the University of Washington, University of Puerto Rico, and Queens College, New York gather for a last goodbye at the end of the UW-OOI-NSF cruise RR1713, Leg 1 of the Regional Cabled Array Operations and Maintenance Expedition.

A vew from a GoPro camera looking towards the fantail of the R/V Revelle near the end of the UW-OOI-NSF Regional Cabled Array. The ROV Jason has a novel holster on its front holding a Deep Profiler vehicle about to be installed on a Deep Profiler Mooring at the Oregon Offshore Site. This dive was the first to use this holster, designed by the Applied Physics Laboratory, which allows instrumented profilers to be recovered and reinstalled without recovering the entire mooring.

A diverse suite of displays allow monitoring of ROV operations in the control van during the dive to the Pythias Oasis Site discovered by, then, University of Washington School of Oceanography undergraduate Brendan Philp. The central large display shows the "Gusher" site, ringing by orange anemones and adjacent clams. The Jason manipulator holds a temperature probe used to measure the warm fluids. Credit: M.
